18 Weeks 1 Day

One more week down, only 22 or so more to go. I can't seem to get over 20 weeks approaching so quickly. I'm almost at the top of the hill, over the hump as some may say. I've been feeling this little muffin quite a bit lately and am really excited for the people in my life to be able to share in this with me. It's funny by I notice it in the car a lot when I'm on the phone. I think that baby likes hearing my voice...maybe not, but it makes me feel good to think so!

On my message board that I am affiliated on of my "friends" said her doctor told her that outside movement isn't usually felt until around 24 weeks! This totally bummed me out because I really thought that the time was getting close. I'm sure the next 6 weeks will pass quick, and hopefully I'm further along and it will happen sooner. I did however get Nate to finally touch my "belly" two days ago. You could feel which side of my ute the baby was on and it was super hard. I don't think he was expecting to feel that!

As with all of the other weeks of pregnancy, my little muffin has now grown up to the status of a yam. Yep a sweet potato for week 18. I really can't stand them so when thinking of yams, I am choosing to think of the marshmellow topping.
